Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic HNSCC, ESCC, esophageal adenocarcinoma, gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma (or other eligible solid tumors listed in the protocol) who have ECOG 0-1 and adequate organ and marrow function and meet protocol washout requirements.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with poor performance status (ECOG >1), significant organ dysfunction, recent anticancer therapy within specified washout windows, or prior high-grade pneumonitis are unlikely to benefit from or be eligible for this trial.

What this trial studies
NRM-823 is being studied in a Phase 1 dose-escalation and expansion format for adults with locally advanced or metastatic refractory solid tumors, focusing on head and neck, esophageal, gastric, and GEJ cancers. Part A uses escalating doses to define safety, tolerability, and a recommended dose, Part B enrolls an expansion cohort at that dose to better characterize safety and early activity, and Part C explores adding a checkpoint inhibitor to the drug to assess combination tolerability. Eligible participants need ECOG 0-1 and adequate organ and marrow function and must meet specified washout periods from prior therapies. The primary objectives are safety and tolerability with exploratory evaluation of anti-tumor signals, conducted at Normunity investigational sites in the United States.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, NRM-823 could become a new treatment option that controls tumor growth for patients with refractory head and neck and upper gastrointestinal cancers.
How similar studies have gone: While combining novel targeted agents with checkpoint inhibitors has shown benefit in some cancers, NRM-823 itself is at first-in-human/Phase 1 stages with limited prior clinical data.

Inclusion Criteria: * Have histologically- or cytologically-diagnosed NSCLC (squamous or adenocarcinoma), TNBC, HNSCC, ESCC, esophageal adenocarcinoma, gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma, cervical, endometrial, or ovarian cancer which is advanced or metastatic. * Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1. * Adequate liver, renal, pulmonary, and cardiac function. * Adequate hematologic function. Exclusion Criteria: * Has received cytotoxic chemotherapy, biologic anticancer agents, checkpoint inhibitors, or radiation therapy (excluding bone-only radiation therapy) ≤3 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of NRM-823 * History of Grade 2 pneumonitis requiring steroids or any Grade 3 or 4 pneumonitis from any prior therapy. * Has received an investigational therapy \<4 weeks or 5 half-lives prior to the first dose of NRM823, whichever is shorter prior to the first dose of NRM-823. * With the exception of alopecia and Grade ≤2 neuropathy, any unresolved toxicities from prior therapy greater than CTCAE Grade 1 at the time of starting study drug.
